💫 Flip the Script: Self-Control (Part 10 – Palm Sunday)

What if self-control isn’t about trying harder—but surrendering deeper?

In this Palm Sunday message, we’re flipping the script on self-control—revealing how real power isn’t about force or impulse, but trusting God’s way when everything in you wants to take control. In a world that says “follow your truth” and “do what feels right,” Jesus shows us a better way.

📖 This week we walk with Jesus through His trial—falsely accused, misunderstood, and silent. He had every right to defend Himself, but instead, He trusted the Father’s plan. That’s not weakness—that’s Spirit-led restraint.

📚 Key Scriptures: Luke 22:66–71 (Jesus Before the Council)
Matthew 27:11–14 (Jesus Before Pilate)
Galatians 5:22–23 (Fruit of the Spirit: Self-Control)
Bonus: Palm Sunday lens – Jesus enters as the gentle King, yet holds back the power He rightfully has.

🗝️ Self-control flips the script on impulse, trusting God’s way—even when it’s hard.

🌱 In This Sermon, You’ll Learn:
✔️ Why self-control is more surrender than willpower
✔️ How Jesus models restraint and trust under pressure
✔️ What it looks like to pause, pray, and obey instead of reacting
✔️ How Spirit-led self-control can become a witness to a chaotic world

💬 “Who’s really in control of your story?” That’s the question we’re asking this week.

🔥 The world says strength is about domination. But Jesus redefined it—on a cross, not a throne.
